This examiner grants 84% of resolved cases

Analysis

Rodney Evan Fuller works in Tech Center 3700 and Art Unit 2662. He has 1343 resolved cases. The allowance rate pct is 83.9, which suggests a very receptive environment for patent applications. The median days to allowance is 809, indicating an efficient path to grant for successful cases.

The interview lift pct is 7.9. While this shows a positive impact, the high baseline allowance rate pct of 83.9 means that many cases reach allowance without the need for an interview. However, the 7.9 interview lift pct still offers a benefit for resolving any remaining contested issues in Art Unit 2662.

With 1343 resolved cases, the examiner has a very large body of work. The 809 median days to allowance is a helpful benchmark for pendency. Given the 83.9 allowance rate pct, applicants have a high probability of success, and the 7.9 interview lift pct provides a supplemental tool for advancing prosecution.
